Here are a few links, tips and ideas to help you through your shopping woes.

Buy smart gifts. 

Listen to TSE from Nov. 27 to hear smart shopping tips, affordable gift ideas and more.  The best way to give the perfect gift is to ask the person what they want.  You can also take note of what is going on in their life.  Pay for a class, invest in a business, or buy government bonds. Better Me, Inc. offers coaching, marketing, and training services that you can give to help someone get their business off the ground.  Visit our solutions page to find out more.

Shop for gift cards.

When you can't find what you are looking for or you suddenly realize that your $25 gift limit won't get you very far on a gift at the Galleria you will eventually settle on a random gift card at the last store you land in.  One of the top rules to smart shopping is being proactive rather than reactive.  Make a gift card list for primary and secondary gift ideas, then visit our gift card page to buy gift cards from your favorite merchants.

Give the gift of technology.

Don't leave your friends, family and coworkers in the dark this year.  Give them a gift you know they will use like Internet service, smart phones, domain names, and hosting service.  These are the crucial things needed to communicate, plan and organize your business and family events and information.  Review your gift list and check it twice, get everyone online to make life convenient in the New Year. 

Shop within your network.

This year plan to support businesses that are in your network.  Your personal network includes friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and yourself most important.  Small business owners will be more than happy with a purchase and a happy holiday’s card.  Within your network get into the business. Do you know anyone that is involved in a network marketing company?  Don’t forget that network marketers are small business owners, and it can be hard for them with stipulations on the way they can advertise.  The companies are names like Mary-Kay, YTB and ACN.  Be sure to check The Network for handmade objects like blankets scarves and jewelry.  Please don’t forget yourself, give yourself something that can benefit you throughout the year.

Good Day.
